I do not recommend to change the firmware yourself without prior experience in this area. Chances to brick your device immediately are very high.

As of now it seems a good place to create your custom scripts within the /apps folder, which is writable and likely durable across reboots.

What's left is to figure out what mechanism your router-linux-distribution provides to call your scripts.

Since it's highly likely that some open source distribution is used, the first thing is to figure out which one it is(google, vendor homepage, product specifications, ...) and when the distribution name/type is found look/read for the possibillities for calling individual startup scripts.

URTWNFW(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						URTWNFW(4)

NAME

     urtwnfw -- Firmware Module for Realtek Wireless driver

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this module into the kernel, place the following line in your kernel configuration file:

	   device urtwnfw

     This will include three firmware images inside the kernel.  If you want to pick only the firmware image for your network adapter choose one
     of the following:

	   device urtwn-rtl8192cfwT
	   device urtwn-rtl8192cfwU
	   device urtwn-rtl8188eufw

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

	   urtwn-rtl8192cfwT_load="YES"
	   urtwn-rtl8192cfwU_load="YES"
	   urtwn-rtl8188eufw_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     This module provides access to firmware sets for the Realtek RTL8188CUS, RTL8188CE-VAU, RTL8188EUS, RTL8188RU and RTL8192CU chip based USB
     WiFi adapters.  It may be statically linked into the kernel, or loaded as a module.

     For the loaded firmware to be enabled for use the license at /usr/share/doc/legal/realtek must be agreed to by adding the following line to
     loader.conf(5):

	   legal.realtek.license_ack=1
